SOUTHERN LUMBER LANDS.
The Wasteful Policy That is Destroy

The Wasteful Policy That is Destroy
ing a Principal Source of Wealth.
From the Pensacola (Fto) AdUance- Gazette.
We print to-day a series of clippings re-
ferring to the rapidly increasing demand
and purchase of Southern timber lands, in
large and small bodies. 1t is hardly credit
able that lands are sold by the thousands of
acres for the petty sum of 81 and 81 % per
acre, when many an acre contains from
twenty to fifty trees, worth from "a to $40
each, yet such is the case; our
people simply have no idea of
the value of their possessions,
and in many instances have literally
thrown away fortunes and received moth
ing in return Forests have been denuded
and enormous RATS of logs have been floated
to market and sold for prices which barely
covered the cost of the labor, leaving ac-
tually nothing in the hands of the owner
for the valuable timber taken from his land,
and it is high time for our people to call a
halt, or at least to refuse to sell unless they
can get something like an approximate
value for their property, for 1t is now evil
dent that the South, and the South alone,
must furnish the timber supply.
We remember well within the last ten
years, when the "black walnut crazen
stripped the forests of Tennessee and Ken
lucky of their richest treasures in timber,
when spectators bought walnut stumpage
at 5 a tree, and many of the trees were
worth from SOS to $50 each, some of them
more; these men see their folly now, for
though they retained their lands and other
valuable growth on them, they allowed
others to take the cream of their possessions.
Our people have being doing worse they
have parted with their possessions for mere
song and see others growing rich while they
are in no wise benefited; we hope they will
take warning and get fair equivalent for
their property.

The timely use of simple remedies will
often prevent consequences more serious
than mere outlay of money. Therefore
do not procrastinate if you are suffering
with a cough, cold or diseases of throat and
lungs, but use Coussens' Honey of Tar, and
be speedily relieved. This preparation is
universally known as excellent, and this
hint to sufferers is snflicient.

Not Encouraging to China Painters.

From the China Decorator.
"You say the price of this beautiful hand
painted dinner set is S175?"
Yes, madam"
And the price of the plain set of the same
ware is S171. Only 81 difference
YES, madam"
''Then, how can that be real hand painting?
Surely it must cost more than 81 to decorate a
set like that. The figures are exquisite"
Both dinner sets were of Limoges ware. They
were displayed in Broadway crockery house
The decorated set had delicate figures traced on
each of the hundred or more pieces.
Il assure you, madam, that it is genuine
hand painting" he replied The slight diff
ference in price does not arise from the cheap
ness of the painting. 1t comes from the high
ness of the tariff"
'Well | thought so" said the lady, ''I've
done some painting on china, and / know such
beautiful work as that could never be had for 81
a Set
''Just as I thought, too" said the dealer, when
the lady had gone. She is one of them"
lone of what?N
''The women with the china decorating craze
told little fib about the tariff, or, rather,
stretched the meaning. 1t is our tariff on GUS
toners and not the customs tariff that makes
the small difference in price. We charge within
a trifiing amount of as much for plain Limoges
and other high grade chinas as we do for the
richly decorated sets, simply to keep the plain
sets out of the reach of persons, principally WON
en-, by the way, who otherwise would buy
them and make their own hand painted decora-
tons. Few persons can tell real art work from
daubs on china any more than they can on can
vas. If we gave the china-decorating cranks q
chance we'd soon have the market flooded with
real Limoges ware hand painted by home tai
emit. BY making the plain sets almost as expen-
sive as the imported hand painted sets we shut
out these amateurs. This course is pursued by
the trade generally"

After moments hesitation Nine. Patti said:
You know there are only few singers who
have brought children into the world and who
have been able TO retain their vocal powers.
Grisi did, for one. know; but it is always at a
risk. When Nine Gerster's first child was born
there were no unfortunate results, but think
the birth of her second child has had its effects
and impaired her voice.
